[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 2546573, member: 13"] [B]Both are good, it just depends on what you want...[/B] The custom XP's cost more for sure, but you have no cartridge limitations like you do in the Contender or Encore platforms. You will also have a faster lock-time, free-floated barrels, better barrel options and contours. The Contender is much lighter, while the Encore is closer in weight to a XP. [B]It comes down to preferences, budget, and uses.[/B] I started with the Contender. It was lacking in horsepower for what I wanted in terms of hunting big game, plus it greatly limited my distance for hunting that game. With custom barrels and good factory (factory can be a hit or miss in terms of great accuracy) ones, the TC platform is accurate enough for hunting with those cartridges it can handle, but I just wanted more. There is no right or wrong here. [/QUOTE]
